In personal injury cases, victims are entitled to seek compensation for the injuries that have impacted their lives. These injuries will vary in their severity and impact, with some requiring ongoing medical care for the rest of their lives while others will require several weeks or months of recovery.
At Angel Reyes & Associates, here are the most common injuries we have helped our clients recover compensation for in their personal injury cases:
Head Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have severe and lasting impacts on both your physical and cognitive abilities. You may experience headaches, memory loss, emotional changes, and other symptoms that could require the need for extensive medical treatments and rehabilitation. In severe cases, TBIs could lead to coma or death.
Neck Injuries
Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries in the neck can be incredibly painful, limiting your mobility and even leading to long-term discomfort. These types of injuries may require physical therapy and ongoing medical care for years to help you recover.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries may leave you partially or fully paralyzed and diminish your quality of life. The financial burdens created by these injuries often include adaptive equipment, making home modifications, and the need for lifelong medical care.
Broken Bones
Broken bones and fractures are incredibly common in motor vehicle accidents. Some victims may experience a clean break that will heal well in time, while others will never fully recover, even after multiple surgeries or physical therapy.
Burns
Burns can occur in these personal injury accidents from thermal, electrical, or chemical sources, leaving behind painful injuries and permanent scars. Motorcyclists often experience these along with road rash from their impacts on the pavement. These injuries are excruciating, usually requiring skin grafts and other surgeries while leaving victims with emotional trauma and disfigurement.
Internal Injuries
Internal injuries to vital organs may not always be readily apparent after an accident. Left untreated, they can become life-threatening. This is precisely why an injury lawyer will always urge you to seek prompt medical treatment to avoid permanent impacts from this type of injury as it worsens.
Amputations
Limbs may be severed in catastrophic accidents, or they may need to be surgically removed in the aftermath. If you or a loved one experienced an amputation, it may require prosthetics, rehabilitation, and extensive medical treatments. Losing a limb also impacts your emotional and mental health as you grapple with how to move forward after this tragedy.
Psychological Impacts
Along with painful physical injuries, psychological impacts can have a profound effect on your life. You may experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other mental conditions as a result that will require the need for counseling and therapy.
